Incautiously, perhaps, he did more-sent a fire-breathing young special prosecutor named Nelson F. Stamler into Bergen County with orders to wipe it clean as a peeper's telescope on a summer evening.

Although the Pentagon has bungled once, it can avert further misunderstanding by making clear why the soldiers are questionable cases. A full report on each soldier will wipe out the harmful speculation, and clear the innocent of this insult of their integrity.

Only through such a varied and complex list of projects does the school expect to lick the causes of disease and end it before...
